The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are given by one Shepherd. But beyond this, my son, be warned: the writing of many books is endless, and excessive devotion to books is wearying to the body. The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. -King Solomon

Blessed Child

by Ted Dekker & Bill Bright

Jason and Leiah rescue a child from an attacked monastery in Egypt. The boy becomes famous as a healer in the US, but someone wants him dead.

This book was riveting, but seemed to say that enjoying God was equivalent to seeing a vision of beauty in everything around. While I don't dispute that people who are enjoying God do see more beauty in everyday things, the Bible teaches that enjoying God means enjoying and obeying His Word and spending time in prayer.
